This field survey documents 59 species of intertidal macroalgae across Pangandaran\u2019s shoreline\u2014spanning green (Chlorophyta), red (Rhodophyta), and brown (Ochrophyta) groups\u2014with the highest cover in Madasari. Two non\u2011native Ulva species (U. lactuca and U. flexuosa) are particularly dominant. By linking species patterns to habitat type, temperature, nutrients, and tourism pressure, the study explains why some sites host rich, balanced communities while others are skewed toward a few opportunists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The implications are immediate. Mapping substrate and wave exposure can identify refuges for sensitive species; tightening access and improving visitor behavior at busy sites can reduce trampling and eutrophication. The dataset also provides a baseline to detect climate\u2011driven shifts\u2014such as warming\u2011tolerant taxa expanding during hotter seasons\u2014and to guide restoration (e.g., seeding habitat\u2011forming algae at suitable reefs).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Macroalgae underpins coastal food webs, fisheries nurseries, and shoreline protection. Protecting this \u2018hidden forest\u2019 aligns with SDG 14 by sustaining marine biodiversity, complements SDG 15 through nature\u2011based solutions, and supports SDG 13 by tracking ecological responses to a warming ocean. The authors call for regular, low\u2011cost monitoring and citizen\u2011science identification to keep the biodiversity picture current and actionable for coastal planners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
